Free online real estate dictionary
adds 800 new terms
Sept. 9, 2006
Over the last six months RealtyU added 800 new terms and definitions to it’s free online real estate dictionary,
www.realestatewords.com, expanding the total number of quick-reference real estate terms to above the 2,000 mark.
“Since we are so extensively involved in real estate education, it only seemed natural to for us to provide real estate agents and brokers with a resource that can be easily accessed and conveniently bookmarked for immediate use when the need arises,” explained
RealtyU President Stefan Swanepoel.
The company adds 100 – 200 new definitions to its online dictionary on a quarterly basis, consistently updating and feeding the growing repository of real estate-oriented terminology.
The reasoning behind further cultivating the free site, however, runs deeper than a simple association of causes. It can prove to be a truly daunting task to exhume clarity and simplicity from the convoluted and voluminous financial and legal documents associated with selling a home. Although the legalese may be a challenge, it is also a necessity.
Real Estate Words aims to reduce that confusion, offering the vocabulary and expressions that are most commonly used in the real estate transaction, especially during contract negotiations.
“In this market, agents have enough costs to contend with as it is, and we recognize that overhead challenge,” said to Tom Mitchell, the company’s vice president of new business development. “Any free and helpful resources that they can take advantage of are always a welcomed addition in their continuing efforts to sell homes.”
